Public Invited to Grand Opening of Houghton Park Fitness Zone

The public is invited to join Mayor Robert Garcia, Councilmember Rex Richardson and the Departments of Parks, Recreation and Marine, Public Works, and Health and Human Services in celebrating the grand opening of the Houghton Park Fitness Zone on Tuesday, November 24 at 9:00 am. Houghton Park is located at 6301 Myrtle Avenue; the Fitness Zone is located in the north section of the park.

“I’m so pleased to see this Fitness Zone implemented as the first project in the Houghton Park Conceptual Plan,” said Councilmember Rex Richardson. “There are more great things to come in North Long Beach.”

The funding for the Houghton Park Fitness Zone is supported by the Department of Health and Human Services’ Healthy Eating Active Living (HEAL) Zone grant from Kaiser Permanente to promote the public’s health in targeted areas of North Long Beach, specifically in the 9th District, and one-time Infrastructure funds allocated for 9th Council District projects.
